on Aisling of a Shamed Lady by The Bard 13 Oct 2009, 8:30 PM
This is my first attempt at the celtic form of Aisling unique to Ireland.
Aisling used an image of a sky woman, Spéirbhean, to describe the agony of Ireland under the English. Using a woman when speaking of Ireland is common, by example the poor old woman, An tSeanbhean Bhocht was the subject of a song of Irish rebellion.

I am using the form as I know it to express the pain of my adopted land Venezuela. As the Aisling form morphed into combinations of english and Irish, so I have used Spanish, english and Irish.
